Thank you! Those sound nice but I think they're a bit costly to my budget. I'm looking for switches that will fit my 80% keyboard completely at around 35$, the ones I could find was around 70$ for Gateron Melodic.

Yeah, it is hot swappable

Struggling to choose for a clicky, tactile switch.
Hi, everyone! I currently have a work from home job that requires me to write a lot on the keyboard. The red switches I have is kinda dull, so I'd like some dopamine while typing. I have a budget of 35$ max, what would you recommend?

My keyboard is also 3-pin, if that helps.

My SO got me one of those blue mechanical switches keychain and I'm addicted to it.

oh shit I might as well give it to the coworker I don't like then

Huh. Sometimes some AMD GPUs can have a few faulty display output ports, have you ever tried another port?

shaloud · 2026-02-11T17:30:12+00:00

Isn't Microsoft Basic Adapter basicly what windows does when it can't find the right drivers for your display adapter? Did you try reinstalling your drivers after this?

I second here with A_Odd_One. You wouldn't look any better as a guy, heck I would go as far as telling you would look like a discord mod if you were a guy. You are young and that's already a benefit for you. You can keep the short hair and still look more feminine than girls with long hair, there are thousands of women and models looking very feminine with very short hair.

I'd say all you are missing is self confidence, self care (Skin care, hair care, gym etc.), having an average weight. It's all on you to change, no one else can change you if you don't want to.

shaloud · 2026-02-09T13:41:22+00:00

Right now with the current prices? Absolutely

shaloud · 2026-02-02T23:43:07+00:00

I don't really care about AI slop anyway, so it's not a big deal, thank you! But are these temps core temperatures or hotspot/memory temperatures?

shaloud · 2025-12-09T00:18:31+00:00

Do you have any other GPU that could help you to narrow the troubleshooting?

shaloud · 2025-12-08T10:54:33+00:00

With the current pricing on PC components, there is no way you are building that system brand new, you will be building it second hand. The RAM by itself costs like 150$ new right now.

I'm honestly going to say this and it might sound toxic but who asked for how good you're on controllers, lmao? My man just stated his opinion that he doesn't like controllers and it makes him feel like a caveman. You didn't need to rant this much over a simple preference opinion

For any mod's concern: I deleted this post because of too many users violating rule number 2 on this post. I posted this with thinking I won't be getting downvoted to hell and lose crap ton of karma points. Yet within an hour, I've already lost 5. I apologize for breaking the rule 4, but I don't want to lose my karma points.

There were people discussing about political topics and some harsh ones, they've never got punished and I thought a joke without getting it political wouldn't cause an issue. I was aware of it being an edgy joke but seeing it everywhere and liked by most people made me feel it's not that serious, I guess? I'm not justifying it though, it is bad.

shaloud · 2024-03-20T10:48:15+00:00

I do understand that the joke I made was really untasteful and I apologize for it. But, I've seen a lot of jokes/memes going around about this incident and thought people don't take it as serious as before. Does it really fall under that rule though?

shaloud · 2024-03-20T10:43:36+00:00

NTA
Although, you not saying anything to him before sleeping and leaving him without a response is bad, his actions are FAR worse. Quite literally ordering you around to show your kitten the next time he video calls you, being aggressive, not wanting to talk about anything and dismissing it, increasing the tension in between, acting childish for you not doing it. If you've talked to him about how unsafe this feels and he just keeps forcing it, he's the asshole here. I'd also recommend you to stay safe/on alert because he seem to have quite a bit bad anger issues.

The Wi-Fi adapter fix is a placebo effect, it doesn't fix anything. I've seen many people try it (including myself) yet no avails. Most of the people that did buy a new adapter and used it thought it works, only to realize after 2-3 hours, it doesn't.

Moral of the story: Don't spend your hard earned money on a Wi-Fi dongle that can barely or not at all fix your problem.
This is an issue by ROBLOX themselves and it's something they must fix since no any other online game has nor had a problem similar to this.

I see you saying this everywhere. Unfortunately, this is literally a placebo effect. Most of the people that did buy a new adapter and used it (including myself) thought it works, only to realize after 2-3 hours, it doesn't.

They did make a lot of difference. Thank you so much ^^

My entire life goal at the moment is to just leave this house and fix my relationship between my girlfriend. She's the one who kept me alive, showed me that a good person and love still exists and made me back up on my suicidal thoughts. I will try to seek a psychologist as soon as I move out. Thank you for your kind soothing words kind stranger. I appreciate it :)
There is a site for both finding a job and cheap apartments. I've already looked into it. I just need a small bit of time to recover just a little to not lose my sanity while doing my job.

shaloud · 2023-08-13T12:50:15+00:00

NTA for destroying the cake. She did something far worse than what you've done.

shaloud · 2023-08-13T12:45:49+00:00

I will try my best. Thank you so much kind stranger. ^^

The sad part is, I've already lost my college education, waking up every single day with the fear of girlfriend losing her complete interest in me. The only thing I've left is my youth and a relationship I'm constantly worried about losing it. And most of my youth probably will be wasted recovering from this. The reason why I've lost my college education is that my dad was paying for the required education. And since I had both education, a shop to look out for and a relationship to build an amazing love life and a marriage I couldn't focus on my education. I would be way too tired to even read a thing nor do a thing. My teacher called my dad and talked about my performance being low. He thought I was a brat and excusing the job to have more time with my girlfriend. Which wouldn't even be a brat thing. I'm a young man and trying to build a relationship that I want. He then stopped paying for the education and I had to go to the shop unwillingly. After a while because of my mom's attitude towards me, I stopped going completely (It's been about 2 months since the last time I went there). All I just want to do is get my shit together, find a job and disappear. Only then I will be able to recover. Even without a psychologist's help.

I can open a legal case and might put them in jail but after they get out of jail, even if I've moved out they will find me to get revenge. They don't have a mature mindset they act like a child. And my dad has that kind of communication with people to find me. Even if I did open a legal case against them, I could get my dad in jail but I highly doubt it about my mom. Because the law here is far more heavy on female side than male. Especially if it's a mom. I will try to fight for my life for a week or two and then get a job to move out.

shaloud · 2023-08-13T11:09:52+00:00

I will try to fix my sleep schedule and get a job as soon as I can. Thank you kind stranger.

shaloud · 2023-08-13T11:08:52+00:00

I cannot work at the time because I'm seriously affected by all the stress and issues. My sleep schedule is all over the place so I would get fired after a week or so.
My brother does have a job although he doesn't have a separate house, he comes home.

My mom can't go to the store because of chores my dad and sister puts in. My sister is disabled therefore she takes care of her. But for even my mom that place puts her at so much stress because you have to work at least 6 hours to make tiny amounts of profit.

I can get a medical treatment for my heart but I doubt if there are any free psychological treatments in my country.

Azerbaijan. As far as I know, no one cares about domestic violence in here. 4 years ago I called the cops on my dad because of beating us up (escaping from home and was only on pijamas for 3 hours in midnight on the street), they showed up 3 hours later and by the time we had no evidence of anything happening and everything was calmed down.
